Glad you were able to catch it! I had to hook up my rabbit ear antenna to see a fuzzy rendition, but I did get to hear everything!

For those who missed it and want to get to know Tom Joyce a bit more, there is an audio interview and some photos at the Boston NPR web site. We also have a great documentary that Tom shared with us entitled "Life Force at the Anvil."

I appreciate the "heads up" for sure........I won't miss one of these. I watched all three hours, very well done. I was really bummed when Modern Masters went off the air.
thanks

I looked at part of the slides and it is worth taking time to do so. Text stated that Africa skipped directly to iron and the nonferrious metals were developed latter. This surprised me.
